A great shoe for a teacher

Wgough - Japan

This shoe ran a bit small compared to the Fluevog heels I've bought, so on the recommendation from the sales staff I went a size bigger that usual and it is just right. As a teacher I stand all day I have to say my various Fluevogs are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.

Good looking and comfortable.

After trying on about 20 pairs of shoes and boots in the Boston store, these are one of two I purchased. Have not regretted it at all. Yes, they are narrow, but so are other Fluevogs. The leather is forgiving and soft feeling so there is little if any break in period and they fit my wider foot like a glove. I especially love the way they feel with a cashmere sock. They just look so sharp. My friends are jealous! I can't help feeling a little smug whenever I wear them.

Faith - Chicago

I purchased this shoe back when it came in a brown/carmel color and I honestly regret not reviewing earlier. The leather of this shoe is so substantial and sleek that I feel impenetrable in them. Also, I am in love, love, love with the almond toe of this shoe. The lift it gives to the front of the shoe really adjusts the way I walk in it, making each step feel graceful and resolute. I only wish that Fluevog would introduce more colors for this shoe, maybe even a true black and white with that same semi-lustrous leather?

Swoon!!!!!!

Sunita - Cleveland

I love oxfords and had been looking for a pair that was predominantly black. I stumbled across Amanda and was instantly in lust. When she arrived, I knew it was a match made in heaven. I was worried that the shoe being black and grey (rather than the black and white I had been looking for) would look weird, and I would hate it. I was so wrong. While the grey is obviously grey (they don't look that grey at all online), I think it works beautifully. The fit: I have a slightly wide foot and wear a 6.5 (though I can wear most 6.5 medium width shoes). I also have high arches. After reading the reviews, I decided to go with a size 7, and the Boston store confirmed that was best choice for me. And when I got the shoes, I knew the 7 was the *right* choice because the shoes are a bit narrow (I had a difficult time trying to get my feet in the shoes the first time I wore them), and the toebox is a bit small and would have crowded my toes in the 6.5. After 3 hours of wearing these shoes for the first time, they fit as if they were custom-custom made for my feet, and I love them. I don't regret the splurge at all, and I am regretting the fact that I did not get these in the brown and black when I had the chance.

LOVE!!

Susan - Vancouver

My first pair of Fluevogs and I am in love! My Amanda's were comfy from day one and I wore them to work!! Was worried as they seemed quite narrow but are breaking in beautifully.Lots of compliments on them as they are a tad different to the general flats you see. Mine are the black/grey and I just couldn't be happier:)) Much thanks to Preet for all her expertise, She was awesome! Thanks so much!Luv Luv Luv

Great Narrow-fitting Shoe! :-)

CleverGirl

The Adrian Amandas in black, grey and purple are my sixth pair of 'vogs and my second in the Adrian family (I also own the Agnes in fire engine red). I had to get the Agnes in a size 8, but I got the Amandas in true-to-size 7. I have AAA narrow feet and these are so far fitting like a glove. Perfect. the "purple" is more of a light pink, which is fine for me. I bought them to "replace" my irreplaceable Angel Ivans which after c. 10 years of near constant wear for every day and casual have had to be put out to pasture. :*( I hope that the Amandas work out just as well...

Found in Europe

Klara - Portugal

I love John Fluevog shoes and have been eyeing the Amandas for some time, but as I live in Europe it´s a kind of difficult/expensive to arrange them. Some time ago I discovered them at European online seller www.raspberryheels.com and gave it a trial. I was rather impressed with the service, shipping and help concerning the sizing so I will be repeating customer for this seller in foreseeable future (so many other Vogs to buy).
About the size: I am typically 36 EU but based on the reviews I bought size 7. I am glad I did as this model is a narrow one. However, after few hours wearing them at home they are perfect fit and feel like gloves. Comfortably constructed and so beautiful! Be aware that the colors are a slightly different from the photos. I have the black and white combination, but it seems more like dark and light grey. I do not mind though, in fact it is more intriguing. Oh, and as recommend by other customers I too will use some colored shoe laces (maybe pink?).

BEST. SHOES. EVER.

Melanie

These were my first Fluevog flats and I can't say enough - comfortable, unique, absolutely TOP quality. So many compliments!

Rebecca L. Morgan - Indiana

I couldn't LOVE my first pair of Fluevogs more. It's impossible. They fit perfectly (after reading lots of reviews, I got a half size bigger than my normal), are soooo comfortable from day one, and are just me to a tee! Thank-you for helping me express myself in the world of shoedom! :-D

True Love.

marlene - Texas, for now.

I found these incredible shoes at the Chicago store and bought them in the black/grey/purple (which I see more as a bluish, smokey pink, gorgeous whatever you call it!). At first they feel a bit snug in the toe bed, but after the notorious breaking in, by wearing thicker socks and gradually going thinner, they now fit like a glove. I have bunions beginning and was worried about the squeeze but in the past six months the leather has formed beautifully around my feet I can wear them walking around all day (with or without socks) while staying comfortable and gathering repeated compliments from strangers of all kinds. The tabs behind the ankles prevent the back from digging into your heels which is genius!

They look great with shorts (which is tough to do for an oxford), capris, jeans and pants; they easily make a casual outfit just a bit more attractive and unusual. It's a very classic style with a funky twist. I love them so much I am considering the Heidi boots too.

These fit crazy small. I got the 11, the same size I have Logans, Stacies, Berlins, Grand Nationals... in, but even getting my foot into the Amanda was a struggle. I'm heartbroken and disappointed.

Aurore - London UK

For my ninth pair of 'vogs I really wanted desperately to have a pair that was unlike anything else I have. I decided it was time to go 'shoes' and not 'boots' and when I saw these i thought this is it- causal, dressy, cute, goes with skirts, jeans, whatever- but they are nothing like the photos show.
The pictures make them look like they have a very cute and girlish round toe but it is very very almond-like in shape, and in this manner they have man's shoe written all over them.
They don't look like a woman's shoe at all, and the shoes here:

...are far, far, far more like what these shoes really look like, which is in no way what i wanted :'(
As well they hurt like murder on my heels and it could be ages before I can wear them again if i even end up trying.
so very sad, I waited in desperate anticipation for over 6 devastatingly long weeks for these to arrive from overseas and they're in no way what i was expecting.
First fluevog letdown, ever.

ooo aaaah yummm

Stacy Disco - Reno, NV

O how I lusted after these black and brown lovelies since I bought the I Believe High Simons in black last year...a hard decision, like choosing between two babies. The Fluevogees at the SF store were so kind to send these to my work so I could lust after them all day and prolong my anticipation!!
Size-wize my 81/2 Simons are roomier (they have a box toe though compared to Amanda). I like to wear insoles and the 81/2 Amanda is way more fitted so prob no insoles - or I send them back and size up to a 9...
These will be great w/my black jeans, yum. Thanks & Love

Love!

triflegrl - Phoenix, AZ

These beauties arrived today. Portland store, THAT'S what I'm talking about! The shoes came beautifully packed and wrapped, with a love note, button, sticker, and shoe bag. That "No, You're Weird" sticker will be the first I deem cool enough to put on my bicycle. I haven't tried these on yet, because they're so pretty and I just want to look at them. Even though I bought a size 11, based on reviews, they look like they'll make my feet appear smaller. More Fluevog magic!

Magnifiques !

Sophie - France

Visiting Boston , I ran into a "wonderful-land" shoestore , and I discovered Fluevog style . I am a shoemaniac, I have to admitt.
I just fell in love with few models, but luggage alllowance wise, I had to make a very hard choice and I picked those in pink, navy and light grey.
My wide feet fit in like magic, and I could walk hours without pain from the very first day.
I always get compliments about those shoes from Paris to Tel-Aviv, and I am waiting for "fall colours" to get a new pair . Just can't wait !
Please, come to France, you will rock the place !

My perfect work shoes.

Kelly - California

I know this gets said again and again -- but the website picture simply does NOT do these beautiful shoes justice!

I never gave these much of a look when browsing the Fluevog site, but when my gaze fell onto the gray/black pair in the store, I knew they'd be coming home with me. They're just so stylish and cool, they work great for work. They've got just enough of an edge, visually, despite being black and grey.

They're definitely taking me some time to break in and stretch out, though. And they run SMALL. I normally wear 9.5/10 and I got these in 10.5 -- and they still need to stretch decently for my feet. The narrower toebox is definitely odd for me, as a wide-footed person who's used to Fluevogs always more than accommodating my giant freak-feet.

But they're still a wickedly delightful pair of comfy flats, after a little walking-around time.

Anita - Aptos, CA

ok - lets start by saying I have 12 pairs of Fluevogs. I almost ONLY wear Fluevogs. I LOVE Fluevogs! My most recent pair were the black, white and pinkish purple "Amanda." The are SUPER cute. They run true to size in length (I wear an 8.5) but they are a tighter more narrow fit in the width (which is fine for me as I have narrower foot - its not truely narrow, but its not regular or wide). The first day they were snug in the width only, not the length. It wasn't uncomfortable at all, just more snug then my other fluevogs. They broke in well, after 3 times wearing them are super comfy. I friggin' LOVE FLUEVOGS! :-D

Katherine - Washington DC

The Adrians are my family. Every pair fits so well and walks so comfortably. Bought the Passports in Quebec, my feet said no, so I returned them and came home with these. Love them, can't wait to wear them with that black skirt and sweater tomorrow. Thanks again, John.

christa - alameda, ca

I bought the gray/black first and loved their classy yet fun look so much I just bought the brown/black, too, and I think they're even more striking. I'm a fool for 2 or 3-toned shoes, what can I say? As a 7.5 I find the 8s just right with a thin sock.

Flue-buleous

Tonya V. - Kent, WA

So excited to have my very own Fluevogs! My first, but not last pair. I bought the tri-colored ones and I'm in love. I was bummed my usual shoe size (10) was a bit small and too tight, but recovered quickly to know a pair just a size larger was in stock. I'm looking forward to wearing my new treads with everything - with Fluevogs who cares what else your wearing. :-)

They go with everything!

canyonwren - Los Alamos, NM

I just got these shoes in the brown/black colorway. I didn't expect them to look fabulous with fishnets and a dress, but they do! And they look great with slacks. I'm totally in love with them.

Black and tan Amandas!

Jo - United Kingdom

The first pair of Vogs I ordered online, and they're perfect! Keith from the L.A. store processed my order and was lovely, suggesting I go up a size (I'm normally an 8/8.5 but the 9 is a great fit because the Amandas are rather narrow through the toe) and just generally being extremely helpful.
To anyone who might be on the fence about buying these shoes: don't be. The first day I wore them, I was on my feet for ten hours. At the end of it I had no blisters at all, and I'd received a ludicrous (in a good way!) number of shoe-related compliments.

I love these shoes.bought the Green and yellow.I bought them for my 60th birthday and they fit so great I don't want to wait an other 60 to get more

Rachelle

I was a bit worried when I got these in a 7--I'm normally a 7.5 (what is up with John not liking half sizes?). The length was good, but the toe box is narrow and pinchy. I thought I'd have to get the toe box stretched, but after two days of wear, they stretched out to fit my tootsies just fine. Now I'm loving them!

They fit, they really really fit!

Margaret Johnson - Surrey

I'm posting this comment for the sake of all wide feet sufferers out there who have a hard time buying awesome shoes that actually fit their feet. Because that is me. Ive been pining over these shoes for weeks and finally got to try them on my wide feet and my feet slipped in comfortably into the size 8 shoe. (I can wear a 7.5-8) I was extremely pleased. They fit great, and look great! Now I dont have to cut my feet of. Because I swore I would if these didnt fit.

New Favorite Shoes!!!

Meika - Arlington, VA

I've been oggling these since they came out. When I saw size 9 disappear, I almost cried. But I thought "maybe there's hope" and I talked to the nice folks at the store in NYC who told me if my size 9 Radio CBCs were too tight to wear with socks, the size 10 Amanda would probably fit just fine. I got them today and whaddya know, they fit! And they look like a cross between Gangster and Sheriff of the West... which is just awesome. I will wear them in meetings. I will wear them everywhere!

saddle shoes revisited

no other words than........ thanks john!!!! xoxoox

H - Montreal, QC, Canada

I walked into the Montreal store with the intention of leaving with a pair of boots I'd had my eye on, but these caught my attention and I had to have them. I got the black and gray, and while I love the gray, green and yellow, they're not quite me. These shoes are incredibly comfortable right out of the box, and the arch support is just right. They make me want to dance...all the time. Now, if only a few more colour combinations were released...brown and wine? Navy and burgundy? Something bold and bright?

New Store, New Vogs

Lisa - Portland

The PDX store opened today and I just had to go in and buy these. I bought the black and grey and the yellow, green and grey. They are perfect!

Thanks for coming to Portland.

So Cute!

J. Gardner - Calgary

These arrived in the mail yesterday and I LOVE them, they are super cute with jeans and very comfortable. I can't even count how many pairs of vogs I have but these will be a new fave. I have the grey/green/yellow and they have already generated several of the "where did you get those shoes" comments! Vogs rule!!!

Lovely Wingtip

Shady - Oregon

Wow! You've outdone yourself again John! These are just so cool.

Love at first sight.

Pardeep - Vancouver

I walked in to the Granville location and immediately fell in love with these. Wore them for the first time today and felt like skipping everywhere I went :)

L.C. - New York City

I've been wanting funky two-tone shoes for a while now, ones that I'd be able to wear for both work and play. The Fluevog Danielsons are spiffing, but too wide for my feet. Then, while walking past the NYC store yesterday having just finished doing my taxes, these beauties in black and grey caught my eye and I splurged. I wear a 7.5 in my beloved Angels and an 8 in my equally-beloved BondGirls, but the 7 here fit perfectly while the 8 was ever so slightly too big. Comfortable right out of the box, I know that after a few wears they'll form to my feet as if custom-made. Also, I have ongoing issues with Plantar fasciitis and normally have to add arch supports to all my shoes, but not so for the Amandas. In person, they're much sleeker and daintier than they appear in the pictures.

...And when I get my tax refund check in a couple of weeks, I plan to order a pair of the Alli boots as well.
